Guest chertique Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Right well, thanks to the Singapore Police (very unusually) breaking the rules and allowing us to collect our PCCs instead of sending them and doing it in a week instead of 2, we have now uploaded our PCCs and with everything ticked off - we are just waiting for a grant now!!! Please please please don't hang us out to dry with more sleepless nights.................. We're in the mix......good luck for those waiting!!!! Fingers crossed!! Then you are very lucky.. for Malaysia, we need to wait at least 1 month, or up to 2 months for PCC. All our Meds already finalised, just waiting for PCC before the "GRANT" wait..

milliem Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I think we are on verge of doing something we never dreamed of. Called DIAC today to be told our documents are with other departments for verification and they can not tell how long it might take. I believe, indirectly it means external checks are going on my file. How ridiculous! I have been living here in Australia for three years ( my OH for five), did my qualification assessment here, did my IELTS here and even studied a bit. And now after medicals and PCC they are verifying the documents. I don't understand what is there to be verified. We are greatly disappointed and have decided to leave after all these years and spending all our earnings and savings on furnishing our house, studying locally and of course the visa file. We will be booking one way out-bound ticket in first week of July for middle of August. Hopefully would be able to convince rental agent to allow us to break the lease earlier and thus saving the bond. A very sad day Aw Nishi I am so sorry to read this. You have been so unlucky with this. Is there no way you could hang in to let them carry on with whatever they are doing? I remember you saying something about being short on time for remaining in Australia. Could you get a bridging visa? :hug::hug: Millie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nishi Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Aw Nishi I am so sorry to read this. You have been so unlucky with this. Is there no way you could hang in to let them carry on with whatever they are doing? I remember you saying something about being short on time for remaining in Australia. Could you get a bridging visa? :hug::hug: Millie x Millie I don't think we would like to hang around longer than August. Our file was pretty straight forward and every single document was genuine and simple. If they can't verify them in three months there is every possibility they won't be able to in next six month. I mean there are people who have got their visas within 20 days of application, and then there is our file which is being verified and scrutinized so deep- on which base? why there is no uniformity for these checks? I think they just randomly pick some file out of a pile and keep it for further checks just for the sake of it. We have been so disappointed with this process and don't want to just wait here hopelessly wasting more time than we have already. BTW we are already on bridging which has been granted for till mid-August. We cancelled our substantive visa and got bridging. We told them we are waiting on result of our GSM 176 and if it doesn't come through in couple of weeks we need to get rid of furniture and other household stuff before we leave. That guy at immigration was so kind and gave us bridging for two months. If grant is to come it'll in coming week or we have set our mind on leaving for good.

gtdave Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Just checked visa status. Granted. Strange feeling. Think it's going to take a couple of hours to register with me!

Nishi, Please think about going back to see the guy who gave you the bridging visa before. I think you will have no problem getting another. They will understand. it isn't your fault that you have been so unlucky. Your case is straightforward so you will pass the checks. It's just a waiting game. it's awful but the visa will come because you have done everything right Hope you hear something soon Millie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
